About ResPublica The ResPublica Trust (ResPublica) is an independent non-partisan think tank. Through our research, policy innovation and programmes, we seek to establish a new economic, social and cultural settlement. In order to heal the long-term rifts in our country, we aim to combat the concentration of wealth and power by distributing ownership and agency to all, and by reinstilling culture and virtue across our economy and society. 1 Introduction In this paper, we look at what the Government’s aims of tackling deprivation and spreading million for the 100 estates selected – current plans for estate regeneration can opportunity on the one hand; and boosting equivalent to £1.4 million each.

  • Housing, Credit and Brexit
    Housing, Credit and Brexit Ben Ansell∗ Abstract Dozens of articles have been drafted attempting to explain the narrow vic- tory for the Leave campaign in Britain’s EU referendum in June 2016. Yet, hitherto, and despite a general interest in ‘Left Behind’ commentary, few writ- ers have drawn attention to the connection between the Brexit vote and the distribution of British housing costs. This memo examines the connection be- tween house prices and both aggregate voting during the EU referendum and individual vote intention beforehand. I find a very strong connection at the local authority, ward, and individual level between house prices and support for the Remain campaign, one that even holds up within regions and local authorities. Preliminary analysis suggests that housing values reflect long-run social differences that are just as manifest in attitudes to immigration as Brexit. Local ‘ecologies of unease’ (Reeves and Gimpel, 2012) appear a crucial force behind Brexit. This is a short memo on housing, credit and Brexit to be presented at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, April 2017. ∗Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions, Nuffield College, University of Oxford. [email protected]. My acknowledgements and thanks go to Jane Gingrich for the provision of local economic and housing data. 1 1 Introduction If there is one saving grace of Brexit for the British higher education system it is a boom of Brexit studies that began pouring forth as the dust settled on June 24th 2016. Most scholars have coalesced around an understanding of Brexit that to some extent mirrors that implicit in Theresa May’s quasi hard Brexit strategy - Brexit was caused by both economic and cultural forces, with opposition to the European Union based on concerns about immigration and of declining cultural and social status rather than economic deprivation or actual migration levels per se (Kaufmann, 2016).
